I recently went to see a doc in my health plan and he once again made me realize that most docs are clueless. He saw my old testosterone chart and then saw how my new one was tripled. I told him about Paleo and some supplements I take from a naturopath to help my adrenals (I have anxiety). He responded that anything that works would be regulated by the FDA and therefore it is all a placebo effect (i.e all in my head). I asked him if a ketogenic diet which has been shown to "cure" seizures was regulated by the FDA and he responded that saturated fat will give you a heart attack and then proceeded to rant on about his 35 years of experience and basically how dare I, an ignorant patient question his infallible wisdom.
Sorry for the rant but really would like to find a good doc.
My goal is; To figure out why my testosterone is still low and to raise it naturally. Paleo/sleep/meditation and supplements have raised it to the low end of normal. I have low FSH and low LH which this doc blew off as nothing. Any endocrinologist or another type of doc that someone could recommend would be much appreciated. The naturopath I currently work with is open minded but really bad with details and loses track of things. Was hoping to get the best of both worlds with an open minded/cutting edge doc that still is well organized and has a methodical approach.
